Where the Planning and Zoning Commission finds that extraordinary hardships may result from strict compliance with this Subdivision Ordinance, it may vary the regulations so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured, provided that such modification will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of this Ordinance.
A modification may be granted where the hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including irregular dimensions and topography, or by other extraordinary situation or condition of such property, or by the use or development of property immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self-inflicted hardship shall not be considered as grounds for the issuance of a modification.
A modification may also be granted where necessary for preservation of environmentally sensitive features.
Where a modification is granted, the Commission may attach such conditions and safeguards as are deemed necessary to protect general public interest or the character of the neighborhood, and may require a guarantee or bond to assure compliance.
